Other MotorcyclesForum for you to engage in banter about other motorcycles. Good place for former (and soon to be) V-Strom owners to keep on the site even though they are without a Strom. This is not a tech forum on other bikes. There are other sites for that.

She gets paid more than she costs now. I cant afford to sell her. I did finally buy this guys bike tonight though. I was wrong about the mileage. It only has 2250 miles on it. I think I may use it for a commuter bike for a little while. Although my son says he would like it. He may get it for Christmas. I don't know yet. I got it cheap enough that I don't need to sell it anytime soon. A RYCA kit may be the way to go. I am a little impressed with the power it has I was expecting it to be more of a dog. I really hate the riding position though. I either have to hold myself up with my arms or my stomach muscles. I could see it getting really uncomfortable quickly. I feel like I am at a parent teacher conference sitting at a child's desk. Also the ground seems way to close when I put my feet down.

My son had an LS650 and asked me to come up with a Stebel/Wolo chrome air horn kit for it similar to our V-Strom kit. We ended up trading it for a DRZ400S about a week after I built the prototype. I wasn't able to fully field test the horn kit so I never put it into production. If you are interested in trying the kit out and helping me refine it, email me and we can work something out.

I had one of those. Traded it for my Wee 6 years ago. What I liked: That torquey engine. Probably the only bike I never stalled even once. At 352 lbs it got off the line quickly. What I didn't like: rider position & handling. 35 degree fork rake & semi-forward pegs meant it didn't like corners & wasn't comfortable at all. But a Ryca conversion would be one fun bike.
